Abstract

The initial experience in facial composite tissue allotransplantation has demonstrated that it is surgically feasible, safe, and reproducible. A robust team approach is necessary to warrant successful outcomes. We designed a specific face organ donation that limits facial donation requests followed by synchronous in situ dissection with the internal organs that has proved to be efficient and safe for face and solid organ procurement and transplantation. The first human full face transplantation in our institution was performed on March 27, 2010. The holistic team approach of donation and procurement proved to be effective and reproducible; the recipient showed excellent outcomes at 12 months.
